Endless Fun • Unforgettable Views • Entertainment for All Ages
Get ready for a weekend packed with music, adventure, and lakeside vibes as Wally Lake Fest celebrates its 15th year of honoring everything we love about Lake Wallenpaupack and the surrounding Pocono Mountains region! From August 22–24, the area comes alive with events on the water, at area businesses, and all around the lake — offering non-stop fun for every age and interest.
Float, Paddle, or Cruise Your Way into the Weekend
The lake is the place to be, and Wallypalooza is the main event you won’t want to miss! On Saturday, local bands will rock the water on a floating stage, while spectators enjoy the show from boats or from the shore at Tafton Dike. This year’s high-energy lineup features Sydney Irving, Seems Like Tuesday, and Ten02!
The music doesn’t stop there — the party continues all weekend with live performances at local venues, starting Friday night and ending Sunday with a lively beach set by DJ Gozzi of Live Sounds Entertainment.
Adventure Awaits on Land and Water
Want to get on the water? Rent a pontoon, paddleboard, or kayak from one of the many local marinas, or join a 50-minute guided boat tour to explore the lake’s beauty and history. Sign up for sailboat rides at Ironwood Point with the Paupack Sailing Club.
Beyond the shoreline, the entire region comes alive with activities:
• The 13th Annual Ride for the Lake – a scenic 41-mile motorcycle tour
• Boat & Outdoor Expo –for adventurers and lake lovers (Friday–Sunday)
• Vendor Fairs & Artisan Markets – shop unique finds and local creations beginning Friday at Noon
• Live Music, Car Cruise, Food Trucks, Demonstrations, and More
Hop Aboard the Free Shuttle & Explore It All
No need to worry about parking or driving between events — just park once and hop on the free shuttle running all day Saturday and Sunday. Shuttles make stops at key festival locations around the lake, with free parking available at Wallenpaupack North Primary, Intermediate, and Middle Schools (off Route 6 on Atlantic Avenue).
Celebrate the Spirit of Lake Life
Wally Lake Fest is more than just a weekend — it’s a celebration of everything that makes Lake Wallenpaupack such a treasured destination. Whether you’re cruising the waves, strolling through the artisan markets and boat show, or enjoying a sunset concert, this is your moment to savor summer before it slips away.
